Acknowledgments
I could not have written this book without the help and support of many people. First
I need to thank my wife, Julie, for putting up with me for being busier than usual the
last six months and for picking up the slack as always—and for always supporting the
crazy things I want to do. My children, Abby, Ben, and Kevin, always make all the work
worthwhile; they can turn the worst, most tiring day into a good one with a smile and
a laugh.
Of course, the book wouldn’t be possible at all without the Wiley team: senior
acquisitions editor Kenyon Brown, development editor Gary Schwartz, production
editor Christine O’Connor, copy editor Sharon Wilkey, and proofreader Nancy
Carrasco.
Many people have helped me over the years with encouragement and technical
knowledge, and this book is the sum of that. The following people helped out on
specific aspects of this book, and I want to thank them and give them the credit they
deserve for helping make this book as good as possible (if I’ve missed anyone, I’m
truly sorry): Theo Thompson, Mathew John, Jake Oshins, Chris Huybregts, Neil
Peterson, Jim Wooldridge, Steven Ekren, Michael Gray, Darren Moss, Claus
Joergensen, Dean Wells, Nir Ben Zvi, Andrew Mason, Jian Yan, Simon Gurevich,
Shivam Garg, Elden Christensen, Jason Messer, Taylor Brown, Manish Jha, Shon
Shah, Pradeep Reddy, Don Stanwyck, Greg Cusanza, Paul Kimbel, Scott Willwerth, and
Tim Aranki.
